Shohei Ohtani got the offense going for the Angels Friday night against the Houston Astros, but he couldn’t hold it together on the mound, resulting in a bullpen game and a 10-5 Halo loss.
The game started out back-and-forth, with a 2-0 Angels lead. The Astros put up a three-spot in the bottom of the third to take the lead, but the Angels got it right back in the fourth, going up 4-3. Ohtani couldn’t maintain the lead in the bottom half of the inning and had to be pulled early. The Astros held a 9-4 lead after four and each team would tack on a run, but the Angels were never able to recover from that disastrous inning.
